  Carolyn Bourdeaux for Congress

  Jun 2017 - Aug 2018

  Deputy Director Of Finance

  Was integral in building a campaign from the ground up. Including myself, the campaign started with only two onsite staffers and a candidate that had never run for public office. By the end of the election cycle, we had made it to the General Election for GA-07 and had raised over a million dollars through grassroots efforts on donations averaging less than $200. I was responsible for organizing fundraisers and making sure that turnout and donations were maximized. Throughout the election, fundraisers were responsible for 75% of our overall donations and rapidly expanding our network of supporters. Show less
